Well if there's a season to just suck the right way and get a high pick and hopefully push management/ownership to make some core changes then this is the season to do it...
The only reason I feel bad for the team sucking is for Bob Hartley, I really like the guy and his communication to media and players, his sense of family unity, his up-tempo style and I've seen much more offensive creativity and D-men jumping into the play, however team toughness and defensive zone obviously needs improvement, and it's on both the players and the coaching staff. Doesn't help though when Giordano can't handle the puck to save his life...
